Frequently asked questions about skny.dot
What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for digital wallets?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
Can customers tell the difference between skny.dot and a lookalike?
Many customers cannot reliably spot a lookalike of the skny.dot name, especially under a payment-implying TLD where they expect legitimacy. That is why owning the exact skny.dot and promoting it as the only official payment address matters so much for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register
Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for point-of-sale payments?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
How is skny.dot pricing different from a regular .com?
Unlike a typical low-cost .com, skny.dot is a .PAY name operated by Amazon Registry Services, with a $100 standard rate and possible premium tiers for skny.dot. The pricing reflects the specialized payments-focused namespace. Compare the .PAY rate for skny.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
As a fintech founder, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
